The National Agency for Energy Control organized from January 9 to 11, 2023 a training course on the carbon balance and the European mechanism for carbon adjustment “Mécanisme d'Ajustement Carbone aux Frontières” for a group of energy auditors and experts from the National Agency for Energy Control.
The National Agency for Energy Control, within the framework of the "Acceleration of the Implementation of the Nationally Determined Contribution" project carried out in cooperation with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), has initiated the preparation of a technical and financial briefing plan for Tunisian industrial enterprises involved in the European Border Mechanism for Carbon Adjustment to help them reduce the carbon content of their products and enhance their capacity competitiveness, especially in the European market. Under this mechanism, updated by the European Union, tariffs will be applied to some products supplied by European Union countries that cause a significant amount of carbon dioxide emissions during production, such as cement, iron and steel, aluminum and its products, fertilizers, electricity and hydrogen.

The scarcity of national natural resources along with the increase of energy demand leads Tunisia to initiate an energy transition process focusing on the increase of the share of renewable energies in the production of electricity in order to reach 12% by 2020 and 30% by 2030, in comparison to the current 3%. Indeed, the objective is to reach a renewable electric power of 3815 MW by 2030. -
